Christie spends as Corzine raises money

TRENTON - Campaign finance reports released yesterday show Gov. Corzine and Republican challenger Christopher J. Christie took contrasting approaches just before and after the June 2 primary.

Christie spent $2.1 million between May 20 and Friday - most of it before the primary. During that period, he raised $13,000. Overall, his primary run cost $5.2 million.

Corzine spent $1.5 million, including his first round of post-primary TV ads. Perhaps more noteworthy was that he raised $1.4 million, including a fund-raiser that featured a performance by Jon Bon Jovi. - AP
